With a history dating back more than 100 years, Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments is well known as a leader in the development of innovative ophthalmic instruments for the eye care professional. It is products like the TONO-PEN AVIA applanation tonometer that bring this company its good name. The Tono-Pen Avia applanation tonometer, a device designed to diagnose glaucoma and other intraocular pressure disorders, is another winner of 2008's Medical Design Excellence Awards.



With an attractive white and blue design, this device is guaranteed to provide ease of use, as well as efficiency. The TONO-PEN AVIA has a lightweight, ergonomic design and advanced electronic measurement technology that enables operators to take fast and accurate IOP measurements with minimal training.



TONO-PEN AVIA is powered by a long-life TONO-PEN AVIA POWERCEL battery pack, good for over 2,500 measurements. TONO-PEN AVIA, like the TONO-PEN XL, uses sanitized OCU-FILM tip covers to minimize the risk of patient cross contamination.



According to its manufacturers, it doesn't need any calibration and the IOP measurement, activated by just a push of a button, is displayed on two large, easy-to-read, LCD screens. The TONO-PEN AVIA utilizes micro strain gauge technology and a 1.0mm transducer tip. The device displays the average of 10 independent readings along with a statistical confidence indicator, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and reliable tonometry results.



There's no price tag on this device, at least not one to be made public. And since the TONO-PEN AVIA applanation tonometer has to be ordered and not directly bought, you should contact the manufacturer for any other additional information.
